TIE utmost uncertainty has existed IN
regard 10 the course which the various la
Dor organizations will take 10 the Der,
csmpsign, The largest number oil those
belonging to these organizations has voted
with the Democrats, and II they should
unit. iu the support VI a ticket OF their
own IL would seriously lessen the cbsnces
Of that party in the coming campaign.
| The Democrats recoRniz, this fact and
will do their best to win over the support
OF the labor organizations To their ticket.
n they succeed 10 this their chances OF
carrying the election will be good On
the other hand II the labor vote should b.
united on the Independent ticket, OF
should be divided between the candidates
Of the other two parties, the Democrats
will staud very little show Of success.
The bulk OF the labor vote is con6ued
to tue large cities aud manufacturing cen
tiers where the Democrats have obtained
their heavy malorities, aud recent munic-
ipal elections have shown the Democrats
In hopeless minority in most cases where
the labor vote has been united on an indie
pendent candidate. The rural districts
and smaller towns are generally strongly
Republican aud will be likely to remain so
Whatever may be the course OF the labor
organizations Late developments seem
to indicate that an attempt will be made
to unite all the labor organizations for an
independent national ticket. DIR, Nc
Glynn and Henry George are working
hard for this purpose with headquarters
at New York city. They call their new
organization the Anti-Poveriy Society, OF
which DIR. McGIynn is president, and
Henry George vice president, and held
